SWWR: The Novel
2007-10-29 02:29:00 On January 1st 2006 I quitted my job and became officially a bohemian. My plan was to subsist for some months drawing and writing short stories for small contests to pay rent and three meals a day. Soon the first verdicts urged me to cut down to two meals. I was happy about my new situation, and nonetheless, a certain uncertainty made me hold on to the few things that gave me security and comfort
Power of the wolf
2007-10-28 09:46:00 Photo by Kevin in Canada. Last night I dreamt quite a complex story. Most of it didn't make much sense, but i recall a scene which did. It happened soon after we discovered that our host was actually the bad guy — some kind of religious fanatic whose rule of terror had his fellowmen living in fear. The scene is a flashback, and concerns the villain's henchman, i. e. our enemy, only that what we More About: Power , Wolf
Ablaze
2007-10-21 11:27:00 Photo by mdj. Last night I dreamt a train. For some reason, it stopped. Three company employees, a couple of my friends and i jumped off. A storm was forming above us. Another train that was coming right behind us had to stop too. The mechanics opened its hood and started to work on the engine, as though it were a car that won't start. Me and my friend sat on some platform; the other one was
Books
2007-10-14 16:07:00 Photo by diminuta. Last night I dreamt i stole five books. The crime scene was a fnac store in Barcelona, and my mitigating factor was unpremeditation. I found a special sale of old books, where i picked up a book i wrote myself and a copy of Los Miserables' last issue. I had collected three other books; i kept them all in my backpack. Two people were looking after the special sale stall, but i More About: Books
Beach apartment
2007-09-30 13:01:00 Photo by Spondicious. Last night I dreamt with an apartment my family owned by the sea. [We never owned such thing. At first, the dream reminded me of an old story i had conceived and never written. As time goes on, i grow more and more convinced that there was no previous idea. The dream conceived it all by itself. However, it's one of those mischievous dreams that fool you into fake memories, More About: Beach

2007-09-29 16:04:00 Last night I dreamt about the dogs i know from the park and their owners. I finally befriended one of the dogs, a huge mastiff who most often just growls at me angrily; this time, it came running and jumped on me, its front legs reaching my shoulders. I grabbed his legs and we played staggering dancers for a while. It was just as tall as me. Its owner came to talk to me soon afterwards. We were
Shark
2007-09-29 01:24:00 Last night I dreamt that a shark almost bit my left foot off. I had to swim accross some kind of saltwater dam, between one concrete platform and another. I am sure it was the sea, though it looked amazingly clear and transparent for the Mediterranean. I could clearly some fish beneath me. I saw the shark as well, a silver-colored specimen about three feet long. He didn't look too fearsome, More About: Shark
'She's passing'
2007-09-22 13:48:00 Last night I dreamt, once again, that i was back in school. The crowded classroom made it look like highschool, though my friends and the subject contents were those of college. As i do every time i find myself in a class, i kept thinking that i was way behind in my studies and that i really should commit myself to them more deeply. I didn't even recognize the teacher — i thought i had never seen More About: Passi , Passing
Untitled story on a wall
2007-09-10 21:54:00 Note: The following entry is translated from a Spanish original first published on a wall at the Frederica Montseny park in the neighborhood of Guinardó, Barcelona. The links in the text are geographic tips about the city. I am a punk-posing Coke-drinking backpacker and headphoner. Every Wednesday i have a chicken sandwich for lunch in a cafeteria at the World Trade Center Barcelona. The first More About: Story , Wall
Resident evil body-snatchers against local cannibal zombie resistance (Gues
2007-08-27 13:47:00 Last night I dreamt a new twist to the old movie dreaming. It felt like videogame dreaming. Not one of those Quake-induced first-person carnagedoms like this, but rather like a graphic adventure. As in movie dreaming, i could see and listen, and as in a videogame, i took part in the action, but somehow i felt that most of my actions were planned as part of the story or allowed by a barely More About: Body , Local , Evil , Resistance , Resident Evil
Family reunion
2007-08-26 13:43:00 Last night I dreamt with some distant relatives of mine. Most of them were imaginary. I remember a black blind man, about thirty years old. I also remember a little yellow spider on the middle of its web in a corner near an elevator in the garden. More About: Family , Reunion
Queen spider
2007-08-20 19:42:00 Last night I dreamt i was in the woods, studying insects with two other people (i can't remember their identities). The layer of grass and fallen leaves reached up to our ankles, so all we had to do was squat down and stick our hands beneath the carpet to recover a wandering bug. It was ants that we were interested in. We positively labeled a worker and a soldier. What somebody spotted as a queen More About: Queen , Spider
Jungle Slaughterhouse
2007-07-29 15:07:00 Last night I dreamt what started just as movie dreaming. I saw this jungle crossed by an elevated path, and on the elevated path a long row of fettered prisoners, sunburnt and dressed in rags, staggered along closely watched by a monstruous giant covered in lianas. At some point, i became one of the prisoners. Some of us decided to play a trick on the giant by switching the lights off. When the More About: Jungle , Ouse , Jung , Laugh , Slaughter
Geologists
2007-07-22 18:19:00 Last night I dreamt some movie. I think the plot borrowed some elements from The Abyss, and at some points it also reminds me of Wes Anderson's Life Aquatic. Most action, however, takes place on the shore. A large group of scientists from all over the world are gathering in a sort of base camp on a desert near the sea. There they work and share their findings in a relaxed, hardly professional More About: Geol , Logi
Vidreres High
2007-07-12 10:34:00 Last night I dreamt of highschool. At first i was accompanying someone there; i didn't realize i had classes myself. Ruth was there too; her friends had just bought her a new bicycle. Once again, i have completely forgotten about school. I ask Mark F. if there is any homework i was supposed to do. "Yeah, there were philosophy problems." "Oh. Well, well, as usual", i say, "we always have More About: High , Eres
The island of Victor Caldu
2007-06-26 12:18:00 Last night I dreamt about Victor Caldu. Little is known about him. He was a sailor, probably a pirate; most certainly, a slave trader; undoubtedly, a lonely man. For years he lead a ruthless life; it was his belief in the autumn years —in the lightful green years of autumn in the tropics— that he had become a lawless person by being too lawful. When i knew him, his regret was: "Kids wouldn't More About: Island
Kiss my white nerd ass
2007-06-23 12:11:00 Last night I dreamt i was in the streets at night; only later i realized it was a corridor in an apartment. However, the street was quite busy. I never saw them coming. Their leader just picked me up, sat me on a ledge and stabbed my chest with a little switchblade. They all had milk chocolate skin and wore black shirts; i assumed they were Central Americans. The boss wore also a slim moustache. More About: Kiss , Nerd , White
Life
2007-06-16 13:17:00 Last night I dreamt I had a piece-o'cake job: I was a pollster taking surveys to tourists in a small village. But the village looked rather like an isolated neighborhood of Barcelona, where the cars wouldn't get but bars, punks and immigrant stores would. I can't recall its name, though when i tried to remember, 'Olivella' was the first toponym to come to my mind. I don't know where it was either More About: Life
Double Session (Part II)
2007-06-03 10:44:00 I wake up from the dream described in Part I. I'm supposed to be home alone, though there are some hard-to-dismiss friends left from supper last night still sitting in the dining room -- who cares. Maybe i would kick them out if i recalled their names. There's Seven on TV, and it's just started; i lie down on the sofa and watch it. I have an eye on the window as well, which opens to our balcony, More About: Double
Double session (Part I)
2007-06-03 10:32:00 Last night I dreamt i went out for diner and a movie. As I recall, i had Chinese and then went to a nearby theater. [The theater does not exist, but i do remember having it visited at least once before in my dreams. One can't just forget those bathrooms.) The film had something to do with Zodiac, involving cryptograms and stuff, but they kept doing commercial breaks. During the breaks, i used to More About: Double , Part
JamburgerGuest starring: Toni Soler
2007-05-19 13:34:00 Last night I dreamt i was listening to Toni Sole r's radio show, and although i was sure it was a live broadcast, for i was right in the room next to the studio, Toni Soler came to join me for the rest of the show. He bought me a mix jamburger, which is a plain hamburger in a bun generously doused with two kinds of jam (apricot and raspberry, i guess).It tasted good. More About: Urge
Thrashed
2007-04-22 12:47:00 Last night I dreamt i went out with a couple of punk friends: a female band leader, Punker, and some other woman whose name i can't recall. I managed to get in a few trouble in the short while i spent in the streets: i had a fight in a bar, which i escaped by the skin of my teeth, and another quarrel in a subway wagon, which turned into a real fight because i started playing the tough guy.

300
2007-04-14 12:41:00 Last night I dreamt the film 300, or the way i imagine the film to be. My dream was not set in the ancient period, but in modern-day Greece instead. A Persian army advanced towards a deserted city where only 300 soldiers awaited for them. At the same time, the film focused on a couple of strangers who arrive to this city, unaware of the menace, and yet they decide to stay or cut throught it, for
Idiot
2007-04-10 00:12:00 Last night I dreamt i was on a bus, a very little one, with only seven or eight passengers, most of which knew each other and played around. Suddenly we found our path cut by some demonstrators occupying the main street; i identified them as young Catalan pro-independence supporters. Two or three of us got off the bus to try to persuade to let us pass. Then i took one of my great decisions: i More About: Idiot

2007-04-09 10:10:00 Last night I dreamt M.B. was living with me, once again. [Once again i dreamt about it, that is. The first time is previous to this blog's archives. As for the second time, it's here.] I never saw her -- a part of me understood she was deliberately avoiding me, but i never cared. I liked to find her tracks wherever i went: a used glass in the sink or the steam on the bathroom mirror. A piece of
Rapp Scallion syndrome
2007-04-06 13:26:00 Last night I dreamt i was afraid of getting out of bed. Every conceivable fear that could await outside the sheets was too real to confront. I tried many times, switching all the lights in my path, singing aloud and doing my best to daunt the terrors lurking in the shadows with my high spirits. But every single time, i panicked, and as soon as i ran to the safety of my bed, i found myself there More About: Syndrome
August 17th
2007-03-31 13:22:00 Last night I dreamt it was my older sister's birthday [however, it was easter holiday as well, though my sister was born in an August 17th]. That night i managed to pop downstairs for a second to get her a little fruit and cream cake for the two of us, while she was watching a film on TV which sounded like a cross between Mysterious skin and If these walls could talk. She almost caught me when i
8,8
2007-03-30 12:42:00 Last night I dreamt i got an 8,8/10 grade in an exam. My friend Rosana kept reminding me this was a very important test, upon which my whole future might depend. And i couldn't even remember when i took it in the first place; i was sure i never studied for it and i couldn't see what was so important about it. And nevertheless, there was my notable grade printed in big fat characters on top of the
Medeans
2006-12-30 12:38:00 The Medeans were an ancient tribe dwelling in Greece. Any encyclopaedia will register their existence in three paragraphs plus the historical and geographical context: their magic, their philosophy and their disappearance from the face of Earth. There is no king among the Medeans: living in a nearly constant state of war, the men just follow the command of the bravest and strongest of their army More About: Dean

As i remember, it was as follows: Some four youngsters are walking accross the snow-covered woods in the night. They enter a cave. They find the frozen body of a little girl attached to the rocks. Suddenly, the body opens its eyes. The little girl's brown eye appears depicted 1, 2 |
